Ignition Controlled Terminal behind Dials - SV650.org

08-12-05, 07:58 PM

Having had the battery go flat on me a couple of times without any easily identified cause I've become a bit paranoid about it happening again. I've even taken to carrying my volt meter around with me so I can do a quick check.

It takes the whole edge off riding the bike.

So, I tracked down a LED voltage meter and want to hook it up to an ignition controlled source. A quick glance should make me

Is there an easy terminal there or do I need to take a wire back to the fuses?

Cheers

It would be best to take it back to the fuse box. On the curveys there is a fat yellow wire from the fuse terminal which is switched.

I think on a twin you need more amps than the voltage for cranking the engine over.

I got the black one and it looks fine only about 4mm long by 20mm wide. The postage & tax were a bit steep, but got it from the sates in 3 days!!

Tris

4mm longs a bit small

So how much was it in total? All in

You're right, should read 40mm

Total cost $54
